Jonas was bloody useless against Sunderland. Anyone thinking he was 'crucial against difficult opposition' in that game needs something checked.

 

He was when we was playing Raylor at LB but Santon has improved to the stage where he does not need a body guard holding his hand.

 

I personally would rather see Ferguson given a go in the coming weeks as we are far too ineffective down that side.

Struggling to identify what his best position is, or what his best assets are so far.

 

People say 'tidy in possession', but his passing is relatively unambitious from what we've seen in his few appearances for us. Interesting to see how he is deployed as the season wears on and our fixture list gets more congested.

Quite a few picking on Mole's posts recently. Feel sorry for him.

 

He obviously adores the Pards :)

Far too early to say Anita's a poor player, but all I've seen so far is:

 

+ Energy

+ Tidy passing

+ Quite quick

- Not showing any ability to take people on

- Only passing over short disance

- Not showing any shooting ability

- Not looking like he can put tackles in

 

Maybe some of those minuses can be turned round in time as he shows more, but that's what I'm seeing now.

I'm not doing it right if i don't have haters  O0

 

Harsh but true. He does all the simple stuff, cleans up, gives a quick easy pass. He doesn't look to be a great creator as of yet.

 

Hopefully just resting him as he will replace Tiotes at the weekend.

 

That's what he is tbf and quite frankly that's what i thought he was bought for so we could play a possession game more effectively and stop horror shows like Fulham away.

 

He's someone who fits into the cog of a team but not the difference maker and if we actually stick to a possession game with 3 midfielders ( regardless of system ) we would probably see that in the long term.

 

I always thought the plan was Tiote the destoyer, Anita the deep playmaker just distrubuting the ball around Cabaye ahead as the goal threat advanced playmaker of sorts.

 

Maybe it will be in the long term but at the moment we are far away from that.

Last night, that midfield 3 seemed a right clusterfuck.

 

At times you had Bigi further forward than Cisse, Tiote playing the anchorman role (which I think suits Anita more), whilst Anita himself seemed to be playing as a box to box midfielder.

 

He clearly hasn't got the attributes to do that and he has looked uncomfrotable with our style of play so far.  In the videos I saw of him at Ajax, he seemed to just sit really deep, almost like a midfield sweeper and just pick the ball up from the centre backs.  We usually don't have a link between defence and midfield, so I'd like to start seeing him do this. 

 

At the moment, games just pass him by.  But he's barely played for us and I think he'll be a useful addition in the long run.  Would still probably play Perch in Tiote's absence though.

That's exactly what I was aiming at earlier in this thread. I sincerely hope that is what we bought him for.

I think a fullback was obviously more needed. But his versatility will mean a lot to us. He seems to be able to play everywhere, although none of those exceptionally well he does a decent job whereever he plays.

So far he's looked better at fullback than in the centre. He is neat and tidy but he needs to be more active in moving around the pitch taking the ball and bringing someone else in to play. Also needs to get forward to shoot.

 

Not sure if he is a DM, CM or an AM really... seems more a DM. So far him and Perch feel the same player in the middle.

i think anita sees himself more of a defensive midfielder, such as the tiote role.

 

last night he and tiote were stepping on each other's toes.
